The Lane Salon - San Francisco (CA)

Wilda Batin Dr. Sammie truly has magic hands! I ended up at her salon after a curly hair specialist I had planned to visit in Redwood City was a no-show. Desperate for a cut, I searched online and called Dr. Sammie. She told me to come on in, saying, “I gotchu,” and she absolutely delivered. I have incredibly curly hair and don’t trust just anyone to cut it, so I was nervous at first. But watching her work with such ease and skill—it was clear she knew exactly what she was doing. Dr. Sammie has been cutting hair for over 30 years, and her expertise really showed. She handled my curls beautifully, giving me exactly the cut I wanted. It’s not about the type of hair you have—it’s about the stylist’s skills, and Dr. Sammie’s are unmatched. She washed, cut, and styled my hair at a great price, all while making me feel at ease. It just so happened to be my birthday, and she made the experience even more special with her humor, attentiveness, and amazing energy. I even learned a little Chinese during my visit! When she was done, I left feeling lighter, freer, and most importantly, confident. My curls looked amazing, and I couldn’t stop smiling. Her scissor work is so quick and precise—I was in and out in no time. If you have curly hair and need someone who knows how to handle it, I highly recommend Dr. Sammie. Her skills, honesty, and great vibes make her a true gem!

Artie Wu Tom is an absolute master of his craft! As a man with long hair, it can be tough to find a stylist who truly understands how to cut and shape it properly—but Tom exceeded all my expectations. He was patient, incredibly skilled, and had a deep understanding of how to work with long hair to make it look its absolute best. From the moment I sat in his chair, I knew I was in expert hands. He took the time to listen, made thoughtful recommendations, and executed with precision and artistry. The result? A haircut that not only feels incredible but also is effortlessly natural and easy to maintain. Beyond his technical expertise, Tom is kind, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure his clients leave feeling amazing.
